Gladiatores: Blood for Roses Kickstarter Preview - A Sideways Glance

The crowd are baying for blood. They want a show and if you want to fight in front of Emperor Caesar in Rome you better give them one and be the last gladiator standing in the arena. Sweat runs into your eyes, your swords feel heavy in your hands and the taste of blood is in your mouth. Lucius Felix is advancing towards you, sword and shield in hand. Gladiatores: Blood For Roses is a tactical combat game for 2-5 players, pitting combatants against each other in the arena. The goal is to win favour during the event and be the last gladiator standing to win the most acclaim. Straight away, the game does a great job of emulating the combat of multiple fighters in the arena. Your hand of cards represents your stamina. The hand is made up of either attack, defense or effect cards and on each players turn they have the chance of attacking another gladiator by selecting a target and playing an attack card.  Each attack card will list the card requirements from the defendi

Adventure Mart Kickstarter Preview - DigiSprite - A Sideways Glance

DigiSprite are bringing you the chance to run one of your own Adventure Marts so you can buy in stock, bring on staff and build a loyal customer base with the view of earn as much money as possible and all under the eye of your Dragon CEO. This is the second game that DigiSprite are looking to fund through Kickstarter after their first successful attempt for Doomsday Bots, the tower climbing, robot boss fighting card game which was successfully fulfilled last year. After a successful campaign on the crowdfunding platform, there is always a choice to either release something of a similar size, or upgrade and try for the next level up to see if that bigger title will work. It's interesting to see that  DigiSprite have decided to go for the latter in order to build on their previous success.

Solar Storm Kickstarter Preview - A Sideways Glance

In space no one can hear you apply sun screen.. Apologies for the frankly dreadful attempt to start off a first thoughts piece for Dranda Games and their game Solar Storm. A disaster averting sun spot of an adventure where factor 50 isn't going to cut it and winding down the window to let in a breeze might just cause slight chafing or actually third degree burns. Though bad intros aside, what we have here is mixture of card game and resource management with a theme that places you in red alert, trying to avoid an impending disaster as you attempt to restart your stalled spaceship as it crashes towards the sun. The ship is represented by a 3 x 3 grid of cards with the energy core in the centre, awaiting patiently for the other surrounding cards to divert power to it so you can get the hell out of there and save your burning soul. Each card has three spaces to represent potential damage as well as information on what resources are required in order to both repair and send

Airecon - Wandering Non Wizard Travels To Harrogate (Or There and Back Again)

It is a difficult thing to prepare for meeting people that so far, you have only really interacted with online. I'm happier to share a direct message, or Facebook chat, because you can't really see that what I've done is deleted the sentence some seven times before I sent it. It's allows me to self edit in so many ways on the fly. Even in the realms of the podcast, while I give the impression that the conversation is free flowing and goes anywhere, I don't necessarily have to worry about people experiencing what I'm actually like in real life. Every time I cringe at something I've said, every point where I want to beat myself up for being stupid, I can simply highlight the guilty sound wave and delete with the press of a button. The final version, a trimming down of potential embarrassment. The only person who knows at the time is the guest and so I pray for short term memory loss and forgiveness. Even if they do remember, it can later on be a little
